This needs to be done by a veterinarian. Maggots in a wound indicates there is significant dead tissue that needs to be removed surgically, which requires a veterinarian to perform safely and humanely.

Take it to the vet ASAP. I had the same problem three years ago with a kitten found living under a dumpster. After the maggot is removed, the wound will need to be stitched, and the main threat to the kitten will be infection. I still have that kitten, a cat now of course, and she is perfectly healthy, but the maggot would have killed her if not removed by the vet.

Bringing at cat to the nearest veterinarian is recommended in order to get a stool analysis as to what type of worm is to be dealt with. The proper medication and dosage is needed to eliminate cat worms.

If your living rabbit has maggots (probably under the skin or in an old wound), you should take it to the veterinarian. The maggots actually aren't the problem - they will eat the dead tissue and help clean up the wound somewhat. The problem is this usually indicates a pretty severe and chronic wound that will probably need surgery before your rabbit is back to being healthy. I would also suspect at least one bacterial infection associated with the maggot infestation.

Maggots grow in decaying tissue. They would not be growing on any part of your house. In order to get rid of them, you need to find what has died in the roof and get rid of the body. It is probably a mouse or squirrel. Maggots are the name of the larval form of a fly.

NO! Take it to a vet immediately! If you have a long haired rabbit, and it has feces stuck in it's fur, flies will lay eggs, and cause maggots. Always ensure that you groom your rabbit regularly. If your rabbit has got maggots, like the other answer says "Take it to the veterinarian".

Can maggots kill a rabbit?

If the maggots are on the outside, remove them. A good bathing with a vinegar rinse should get rid of any you missed. Be careful with bathing because you can stress your rabbit and cause serious complications: read about bathing before doing it, you need to follow specific instructions. And after, bring the rabbit to the vet to make sure none burrowed inside the rabbit. If the maggots are on the inside, and/or you see them near the anus, bring it to the vet ASAP or else your rabbit will die. If your rabbit has had a runny bottom and the maggots are near the bottom then the chances are it probably has flystrike, an extremely nasty condition in which the maggots actually burrow inside the rabbit and eat it from the inside. If this is the case then please take your rabbit to the vet and have it put to sleep. If you have caught it early enough then do as it says above (vinegar), using some cotton wool balls. When you get a rabbit, it's important to read up on all the diseases it can get, and have it vaccinated and make sure you keep its cage and bedding clean at all times as this will prevent flystrike from happening.
